Stick with Yankee Hill Machine forends. They do not need any mods to swap out. Just buy it and away you go! Altough I'm not sure if a Troy would need a modification.
I looked into alot of forends and YHM was the one that I found that did not.
They are also cheaper.

Where were you when I started fighting with my Troy foreend?:redface:

The Troy requires, at a minimum, that the barrel nut be shortened, and the small tab on the rear face of the foreend must be removed. There may be more, but that's where my current installation struggle stands.:redface:

Yeah - using the Troy AR Lite Rail, I had to drill out and reverse thread the top two bolt up holes on the rail (idea given to me on CGN!). Worked out pretty well in the end - but sounds like the YHM forends involve WAAY less drama.
 
Here is my 2 ex JRs, Nordic Components and Sampson Rails both needed a shim to fit properly.

Hey guys, I'm a noob when it comes to these jr carbines-----but I'm thinking on picking one up next week on the way to deer camp. (just happen to drive right by ellwood epps!). I' m left handed, and like the idea of ambi bolt handle & ejection port. I've read that some owners are having feeding problems with them. I also want to shoot cast bullets, the website says they don't recommend them, what's your experience using cast. Am I going to end up with a rifle that works ----- or jams every magazine?
thanks......
Dave.

I think the consensus is 9 is fine, .40 can be iffy, and .45 is just asking for trouble. Other folks have posted saying they not had issues with cast bullets.
 
Thanks------just finished reading the other thread regarding these rifles-----Yea the 9mm seems ok, the others are something to stay away from. If I was to drop a grand, I'd expect it to function! That doesn't appear to be the case with the 45's.
 
I'm sorry did I miss a post where it was mentioned or can someone tell me where the barrel shroud is from? Also does anyone know if there is a Yankee Hill retailer here in Canada?
 
No, these are non restricted rifles. I bought one in 9mm because I wanted an AR, however my club doesnt allow restricted rifles so I settled for the JR and am happy with it. Due to it being a non restricted, I can take it anywhere if I want to just go out shooting.
 
I really do want one of these in .45. If I could get a reliable one, I'd buy it tomorrow.

Have the feed issues been taken care of yet? I know there's spring fixes for mags, but are they 100% reliable fixes?

I know there's always 9mm, but something about 45acp just makes me giddy.
 
I got one of these recently and i am looking to mount a M-16 length rail system on it to replace the stock one. Any pointers on how to do so, and what systems are more compatible.
